General Discussion / Anyone Else Interested in a mixer/BTSX fog

« on: September 26, 2014, 01:58:08 am »

I am interested in a service that mixes btsx similar to bitcoin fog. See description below:

What is Bitcoin Fog?

The bitcoin network might be anonymous in terms of single-handedly revealing your ip address, but the transaction history is recorded in the block chain and is publically available, which makes your anonymity very vulnerable. Once the interested parties, be it authorities or just interested researchers (http://anonymity-in-bitcoin.blogspot.com/2011/07/bitcoin-is-not-anonymous.html) have acquired any one of your addresses or transactions, they could easily track your money around the network.

And knowing your transaction history, connecting your bitcoin addresses to real you is possible, because you will at some point need to exchange your bitcoins to or from a fiat currency using a bank account number, a credit card, LR account or similar service which is much less anonymous than the bitcoin network.

We are providing a solution for this: using our service you mix up your bitcoins in our own pool with other users' bitcoins, and get paid back to other addresses from our mixed pool, which, if properly done by you can eliminate any chance of finding your payments and making it impossible to prove any connection between a deposit and a withdraw inside our service.

How the service works

You register an account on our website and deposit bitcoins to the designated address. After a couple of network confirmations, your money is registered on your Fog account, and you can schedule withdrawals. Each withdrawal will be split in a random number of payouts, depending on the amount, and the relative size of each payout will be randomized as well. Even the timing of those payouts will be randomly spread out over a period of time you will specify.

Ideally you should deposit an amount of bitcoins to the Fog, wait some time (for amounts above 100BTC we recommend a day, above 300 BTC a couple of days, about a week for 1000BTC, etc.) and request a withdrawal, which will not have the same amount as the original deposit, leaving some funds in the Fog.

Then you should deposit another batch of bitcoins and withdraw yet another amount, again different from the amount you have deposited. This time it can be lower than deposited, or higher, adding the funds you have left from the previous deposit. This way there is no practically reliable way to do statistical analysis on the block chain and link your deposits to your withdrawals.

I am not a rich man (yet) but I would be willing to put up $100 worth of btsx for a bounty for a service like this

Is there any other interest in the community for something like this? I think if there was such a service it would be another intensive for people to switch to btsx. Privacy is a very important subject lately.

Muse/SoundDAC / Peertracks.com 404 - shite not found

« on: September 16, 2014, 10:27:31 pm »

Hi. Anyone know what happened to peer tracks?

I am a DJ and producer and I have been explaining the concept of a DAC to a lot of my friends in the music industry. It has some of them scarred (mostly those who work for labels) and others every excited (mostly artists).

Ive been promoting peertracks.com because they had an excellent business model and it was very exciting for a lot of my producer friends who hate the idea of being signed... but now its gone. What the hell.

General Discussion / "grass roots" flyer with infographic?

« on: September 12, 2014, 09:47:30 am »

Hey everyone.. Im just kind of brainstorming here..

Im not the greatest at making infographs or flyers, but what about the idea of marketing bitshares by putting up flyers in key areas, like cyber cafes and coffee shops that frequent lots of IT people, or hacker conventions.

It would probably be a 'light' infographic that gives a very basic idea of what bitshares is, then have a website address and a qrcode linking to the same website for people with smartphones.

This would be something that anyone could print out and put up in a tech-heavy populated area like starbucks, or your local hackerspace, cybercafe or even up on telephone poles and local bulletin boards.

Of course you wouldn't want to put something like this up anywhere as you would want to target your audience, but Im kind of just brainstorming here.

Does anyone think this would help?

Does anyone have any ideas what it should look like if one were to be made? And if so, where do you think it would be beneficial to be put up?

General Discussion / android/iOS wallets

« on: August 11, 2014, 06:55:13 am »

Are there any plans for an iOS or android wallet for bitsharesX? I did a search and didnt find much of anything here on the forums

Im putting this thread in marketing because penetration into the mobile market places will help huge in getting people to use/trade bitshares. iOS and android are huge markets with huge user bases.

Even if the primary users are power users with wallets they compiled themselves, having the option of trading bitsharesX on their smartphone is very appealing to lots of people. Even if the wallet isnt that advanced, even just having a basic wallet will appeal to users who are considering getting into trading bitsharesX

This is just an idea, but I think its a very important to break into the mobile market as its a huge and constantly growing user base. Even someone just seeing a wallet on the google play store or the apple app store will make people look into it. Even the windows apps store has some potential.

And yes, I realize that apple is a real bitch when it comes to crypto-currency wallets getting approved, but android is pretty much a sure deal and thats the hugest mobile market out there right now

Technical Support / BitsharesX Cold Storage Suggestions

« on: August 04, 2014, 11:36:31 pm »

Is there any suggestions to putting bitsharesX into cold storage?

I was thinking of just putting a backup of the wallet into an encrypted RAR file, then putting that into a secondary veracrypt container, then burning it to disk and putting it on a flash drive and storing somewhere safe

but i was wondering if anyone here had any other ideas or suggestions

Wasnt there an armory port at one point for protoshares?

Thanks for any input
